The world waited with bated breath for four days for the big reveal, which is twice as long as Prince George or Princess Charlotte. However, Prince William's name wasn't announced for about a week, and Prince Charles' wasn't known for a whole month.

While the name has been more infamously popular with French kings over the centuries (Louis XIV, the Sun King, who built the palace of Versailles), it's thought to be a reference to Lord Louis Mountbatten, an uncle of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and a second cousin to the Queen. Prince Philip's maternal grandfather was also called Prince Louis Alexander of Battenberg.

And as for how it's pronounced, it's Lou-ey, not Lew-is.

Australia's new war on waste

The Federal Government has pledged to ensure that 100 percent of the country's packaging will be recyclable, compostable, or reusable by 2025 or sooner.

The promise comes after China's decision to ban 24 categories of imported recyclable rubbish earlier this year, leaving pretty much nowhere for about 1.3 million tonnes of material from Australia to go. While some has been sent to warehouses, earlier this month it was discovered that Queensland's Ipswich City Council had been sending the recyclable matter to landfill instead.

According to the Minister for Environment and Energy Josh Frydenberg, the issue proposed a great "opportunity for Australia to develop its capabilities and capacity in recycling through effective cooperation and collaboration among the three levels of government."

ABBA reunion

After a 35-year hiatus, the ultimate 70s Swedish pop group has announced they'll be releasing new music very soon.

Posting a statement to the official ABBA Instagram account, the band wrote: “We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the recording studio. So we did. And it was like time had stood still and that we had only been away on a short holiday. An extremely joyful experience!”

The group has composed a new song titled ‘I Still Have Faith In You’, which is due to be broadcast as part of a TV special in December this year. The broadcast will feature virtual avatars ('Abbatars') created to represent the four members of the pop group during the height of their fame. The 'Abbatars' will also feature in an upcoming digital tour, expected for 2019 or 2020.
